Numerical Investigation of Timber Log-Haus Walls with Steel Dovetail Reinforcements under In-Plane Seismic Loads

The paper investigates the structural response and vulnerability of timber log-haus walls under in-plane seismic loads. Careful consideration is given, in particular, to the structural efficiency of additional metal fasteners introduced within the thickness of traditional timber log-walls. Log-haus...
